lucid.random.seed

lucid.random.seed(seed: int) → None

The seed function initializes the random number generator with a specified seed value, ensuring reproducibility of random operations in the lucid.random package.

Function Signature

def seed(seed: int) -> None

Parameters

  • seed (int): The seed value for the random number generator. Providing the same seed guarantees consistent random values across different runs.

Returns

  • None: This function does not return any value. It directly modifies the state of the random number generator.

Example

>>> import lucid
>>> lucid.random.seed(123)
>>> print(lucid.random.randn(3))
[ 0.99734545 -0.90709145 -0.57366333]

>>> lucid.random.seed(123)
>>> print(lucid.random.randn(3))
[ 0.99734545 -0.90709145 -0.57366333]

As shown above, resetting the seed produces identical random numbers.

Note

  • This function is essential for debugging and reproducibility, especially in machine learning experiments.

  • For global consistency, ensure the seed is set before performing any random operation.
